2007 KIWA TRIPLEV21I VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2007 Kiwa Triple V21i is a 3-axis vertical machining center with an integrated 2-pallet automatic pallet changer designed to maximize spindle utilization in high-volume production environments. The fixed-column, column-traverse architecture with dual rotating pallets enables continuous part cycling, with one pallet loaded and ready while the other is actively being machined. The pallet measures 32.3 by 17.7 inches (820 x 450 mm), with axis travels of 24 inches in X, 16.1 inches in Y, and 20.1 inches in Z providing a practical machining envelope for medium-sized precision components. The spindle reaches 10,000 RPM standard (optional 12,000 RPM) through a BT-40 or CAT-40 taper with 15 HP continuous power, suitable for a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The Fanuc CNC control provides standard G-code programming, rigid tapping, look-ahead interpolation, and canned cycle support. A 24-tool automatic tool changer (expandable to 30) enables complex multi-step programs. The machine's dual-pallet design achieves a floor footprint of approximately 91.5 by 94.7 inches, making it space-efficient relative to its production capacity. The Triple V21i is well suited for repeat-lot production of precision components where near-continuous spindle operation and rapid part changeover are key productivity requirements.
